Leslie Knope Quote #521
Quote from Leslie Knope in Time Capsule
Kelly Larson: Well, you seem pretty chipper this morning.
Leslie Knope: I am, Kelly, because I know why you're here. You know what I did last night?
Kelly Larson: Read Twilight, and it transformed your life and you're gonna put it in the time capsule?
Leslie Knope: Well, I read the first ten pages. I couldn't really get into it, though. More of a Harry Potter girl myself.
Kelly Larson: What?
Leslie Knope: But I looked at the inside cover, and I saw this. Did a little research, and Liz Waverly is 12 years old, a straight "A" student at King Philip Middle. She's also a member of many Twilight Internet message boards and I'm guessing your daughter? Is that why you did this? To impress your daughter?
Kelly Larson: Liz's mom and I divorced a couple years ago, and it's been really hard on her. And she loves Twilight and so... I read about your time capsule and I thought that if I could somehow convince you to get it in there, I'd be a big hero.
Leslie Knope: That's really sweet. You should have told me you were doing this for your daughter.
Kelly Larson: I didn't want to drag her into it. I'm sorry. This is a mistake. You don't have to put Twilight in the time capsule.

Quote from Donna
Donna: You should listen to him. Those books are good.
[aside to camera:]
Donna: Oh, I love any book about vampires, werewolves, monsters, zombies, sorcerers, beasties, or time-traveling romances. And if I had an hour alone with Robert Pattinson, he would forget all about Skinnylegs McGee. I'll tell you that much.
Quote from Leslie Knope
Leslie Knope: And I am submitting this. A brief history of everything that has ever happened since Pawnee was founded. Not like you get extra credit for this, but I did type it from memory. And for the first time ever compiled, it includes a complete list of every official town slogan we've ever had.
April: Oh, my God, Leslie.
Leslie Knope: I know. Can you believe it?
April: That's crazy.
Leslie Knope: Isn't it?
[aside to camera:]
Leslie Knope: "Pawnee: The Paris of America. Pawnee: The Akron of Southwest Indiana. Pawnee: Welcome, German soldiers." After the Nazis took France, our mayor kind of panicked. "Pawnee: The factory fire capital of America. Pawnee: Welcome, Vietnamese soldiers. Pawnee: Engage with Zorp." For a brief time in the '70s, our town was taken over by a cult. "Pawnee: Zorp is dead. Long live Zorp. Pawnee: It's safe to be here now. Pawnee: Birthplace of Julia Roberts." That was a lie, she sued, and so we had to change it. "Pawnee: Home of the world-famous Julia Roberts lawsuit." "Pawnee: Welcome, Taliban soldiers." And finally, our current slogan: "Pawnee: First in friendship, fourth in obesity."
Quote from Leslie Knope
Leslie Knope: So that's what today's forum is for. We're gonna hear suggestions from everyone, and then whichever items we generally agree on will go into the time capsule. Please remember this is a government project, so we need to refrain from corporate promotion and religious items. Who'd like to start?
Man: I think we should put in the Bible.
Leslie Knope: Great.
